Hey Reader, It’s been so refreshing to talk more about online income lately. Every time I get a message from someone who’s taken a step—any step—toward starting their own income project, I can’t help but cheer them on. And as promised, I want to share a little celebration of my own with you. I just finished tallying up my income for May… and it came to $14,409. 🤯 That’s a number I haven’t seen within a month for quite some time, and let me tell you—I sat with it for a minute, grateful, and honestly a little in shock. I’m not saying digital marketing is the only way to make a living. But for my family, it’s been such a gift. It's flexible, creative, rewarding, and all the things. My husband and I both get to work from home. We're here for our kids, every day. And for us, that kind of freedom is priceless.
That said... as soon as the sun starts shining and the weather warms up, I always feel that itch to do something a little more hands-on. Maybe even outdoors. I half-joked with my husband about setting up some beehives this year. (He shut that down real fast LOL.) But the idea’s still buzzing in the back of my mind. 🐝 In the meantime, I've agreed to work on something a little less scary. My 10-year-old son—who claims he’s “so bored” every 20 minutes—perked right up when I mentioned the idea of starting his own little side job. Since then he’s been non-stop asking when we’re going to get started. So I think it’s happening. We’ve been researching "vermiculture" together—raising red wiggler worms to turn veggie scraps into nutrient-rich compost. (It sounds weird, I know. But red wigglers and worm castings are gold for gardeners.) Honestly, I just love that he’s excited about starting something of his own and learning how to earn a little money from it. And if you’re curious too, I’ve actually updated an old guide from a few years ago, with everything you’d need to know to start your own worm farm. We’ll be setting up our first worm bin this month, and I’ll be sharing a bit about the journey as we go—if you want to follow along, let me know! Don't worry, I'll still keep the main focus on the bigger picture, which is to find the perfect way for you to achieve career and financial freedom. But summer is just about here, and who knows where this fun little side hustle can lead. Some people have turned worm farming into a full-blown commercial venture! I'm excited to see where it can go,
P.S. If you’ve ever thought about getting into something easy and low-cost like this—either for yourself or with your kids—this could be the perfect little side adventure. |

Hey Reader, Recently, I had to make one of the hardest decisions in my business so far. Last summer, blogging income had slowed down, and with the rise of AI content flooding the internet, it felt like my voice was getting drowned out. I didn’t want to keep pouring energy into something that just wasn’t producing results the way it used to. So, I pivoted. I put my blog on the back burner and started a Facebook group for online deal shopping. It quickly became one of the most fun projects I’d...
Hey Reader, I wanted to share a little glimpse into my Mother’s Day weekend—not because anything wild or extravagant happened, but because honestly, it looked a lot like most weekends for us. And that’s something I’m incredibly grateful for. Every Sunday, no matter how full the week has been, I unplug completely from work. My husband and I take the kids to church, and almost every single week, we meet up afterward for lunch with my side of the family. And when I say family—I mean family. I’m...
Hey Reader, About a year and a half ago, I almost walked away from digital marketing completely. After riding the wave of success from 2021 through 2023, I thought I was set. I had built a thriving business from home—something I was incredibly proud of as a work-from-home mom. But then came the changes. Google’s updates… the rise of AI… and quite literally overnight, my income dropped in a way I never saw coming. It wasn’t just me, either. A lot of digital marketers were hit hard. What had...
